"The saint is already waiting for Xiangye in front of the palace gate, please Xiangye board!" The little eunuch with a dust whisk in one hand paced a few steps closely, walked in front of Xiao Xiang, who had just finished talking, and bowed down to invite.

"Since the old man returned to Beijing, he has not yet entered the palace to face the saint, it is already disrespectful, if he enters the palace this time, it will be a taboo, and he also asks his father-in-law to return to the saint, Xiao someone should walk into the palace to face the saint, with the etiquette of all courtiers." The old man's words were full of respect, but the spine was still straight, and he never bent down for half a minute.

The little eunuch obviously has never seen such a battle, since he entered the palace, he has never seen anyone dare to refuse the current saint, not to mention that the saint himself gave the jade chariot into the palace, it is a supreme honor, for a time the little eunuch stood in place, I don't know what to do, I can only look at the world-shattering peerless warrior in front of him.

Looking back, there seemed to be invisible oppression coming from the imperial city, thinking of the rejection of his decree and the criminal law in the palace that he was about to face, the little eunuch was so frightened that he trembled instantly... Seeing that he was about to collapse, he heard the sound of horses' hooves trampling behind him, and looking back, it was Duanmu Qiu, the current master of the Nine Gates, who came on horseback.

A moment ago, he turned over and dismounted, this celebrity in front of today's saints, not like the arrogant posture when he treated the hundred officials, but was more respectful than the little eunuch, lowered his hands and walked slowly, in front of the old man, lifted his skirt armor, knelt on one knee, made a military salute, and opened his fists.

"Apprentice Duanmuqiu, I have seen Mr., Mr. is above, please forgive the apprentice now that he is in the imperial position, and he can't give all the master and apprentice gifts." As soon as he saluted, Duanmu Qiuzhi's gaze had been lightly raised, and he turned to the little eunuch who passed the decree.

Seeing Duanmuqiu break the siege, the little eunuch instantly reacted, his little fate was saved, and immediately threw a grateful look at Duanmuqiu, turned around quickly, and went to the city gate to return to his life.

Duanmu Qiu's eyes did not move, he still kept kneeling, and saluted Wang Yue'er beside Xiao Xiang: "Duanmu Qiu, the master of the Nine Gates, see His Royal Highness the County Lord!"

"Excuse me, Duanmu Qiu, this palace will ask you, as a disciple of Xiangye, are you here to meet Master, or to force Xiao Xiangye to violate the ban?" Although Wang Yue'er had never seen Duanmu Qiu, she had also heard from Zhang and Wu that he was greedy for power, and when she opened her mouth, she did not show any mercy to this celebrity in front of the saint.

Such a slap in the face, Mo said that Duanmu, the red man kneeling in front of him, was a Beijing official in the court, and he would never be unresponsive, but Duanmu Qiu didn't seem to hear Wang Yue'er's question, so he only moved his eyes slightly, turned to the old man beside her who had never spoken, and said persistently: "There is a decree from the saint, please master to enter the palace, and please don't let down Your Majesty's hard work."

Wang Yue'er on Xiao Xiang's side saw that Duanmu Qiu ignored herself, not only did she not show anger in her clear eyes, but she was slightly happy.

After thinking about it, Wang Yue'er took away the joy in her eyes, her eyebrows were upside down, and she was about to attack Duanmu Qiu, but she heard Grandpa Xiao on her side move.

Leaned over slightly, stretched out his hand, helped Duanmu Qiu, who was kneeling on the ground, and carefully dusted off the dirt on the armor on his body, and then spoke: "Qiu'er, do you remember the scene when the seven of you apprenticed in my mansion?"

When he returned to Beijing, he wanted to see him, but he never entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Duanmu Qiu only said that the master was extremely disappointed in his apprentice, so he didn't want to see him, but now he heard his loving voice, and his heart was stirred, and he hurriedly replied: "That's something that the disciple will never forget in his life!"

"Listen to what you say and be a teacher." Xiao Xiang spoke, still kind.

In front of Xiao Xiang, the overseer, who is in charge of Jiang Lin's Nine Sects and can exercise the right to cut down officials below the third grade, seems to have become the last cowardly young man in the Prime Minister's Mansion to speak, but he is still persistent when he speaks: "Duanmu only wants to be able to protect everyone, no matter what he learns or does, I am willing."

When the old man heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and said no more, patted Duanmuqiu on the shoulder, and walked forward, Wang Yue'er beside him, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Grandpa Xiao's gourd, and hurriedly chased him, leaving Duanmuqiu still standing in front of the palace gate...

This scene naturally fell to the end of the road, and the red light flashed suddenly in the eyes of the ninety-five people who kept twisting the jade hold, and the rickety old dog behind him also seemed to see what was most important in the eyes of the national priest and the saint

Duanmu acted kindly, his cloudy eyes turned slightly, he moved his steps slightly, walked behind Jiuwu, and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, Duanmu Qiu is in charge of the Nine Gates, and he is all Xiao Xiang... Your Majesty—"

Before the words fell, he could only hear the majestic voice of Jiuwu in front of him, interrupting himself with a slight smug voice that saw through everything: "Zhongqi, you... Although it is no longer in the rivers and lakes, is there still your story in the rivers and lakes?"

Obviously, he never expected the saint to ask such a question, remembering that he was in the Cloud Book Palace, and his hands were on his shoulders for a moment, and the domineering and evil true qi instantly shattered his own scene, Zhong Qi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and immediately responded: "Old slave... It is no longer in the rivers and lakes, and there will no longer be a slave in the rivers and lakes... It's the old slave who talks too much, and the old slave should die!"

As soon as he spoke, he was about to kneel, but he was stopped by Jiuwu again, and saw that His Majesty's eyes moved slightly, as if he saw that he was cold, and only then did he slow down and speak.

"Zhongqi, this gentleman of mine, but the world's well-known peerless warrior, think about it, that day, Duanmu Qiu heard that he had returned to Jianglin, put down my errand, and returned to Beijing desperately, wanting to see him, what was the result? Who called Duanmu Qiu back to the palace? Why did you change your posture in front of my palace gate?"

Hearing these questions from the Holy Lord, Zhong Qi thought for a while, suddenly brightened up, and muttered, "Is it possible..."

"You guess it is right, this gentleman of mine is unparalleled in wisdom, throughout the ages, the king of a country, the most worrying thing is that his trusted courtiers are too close to important ministers... What a divisive plan... Mr. in the end, I am afraid that he only saw Duanmu Qiu leaving the palace for a moment, and he had already made up his mind to carry out this plan..." With a gaze that saw through everything, the saint looked at the old figure that was gradually approaching through the imperial city corridor, and said with a smile.

Behind him, Zhongqi's wrinkled face was already frightened again, and he looked at the figure of the old man and the young man with the eyes of Jiuwu, and in just a moment, the battle of wisdom and scheming had already clashed invisibly... I can't help but sigh, the hero is dying, and the peerless national warrior is no match for the blade of time, and he is even more afraid of the ninety-five in front of him.

......

"Grandpa Xiao, you have a good trick to make a difference, hmph, this Duanmu Qiu is greedy for power, after tonight, see how he can be favored again!" Wang Yue'er, who was holding Xiao Xiang's arm, had a pair of clear eyes, full of admiration, and looked at the old man beside her.

Listening to the voice of the girl beside him, the smile on the old man's lips was slightly visible, perhaps remembering that after she married the kid a few years later, she might need to remind him at all times, think about it for a while, stop moving forward, and open her eyes sideways.

"Yue'er, Grandpa Xiao will teach you another method in the near future."

Wang Yue'er wondered why Grandpa Xiao would stop, but when she heard that this peerless national warrior was willing to give the opportunity, she immediately showed the child's excitement: "Yue'er can't ask for it... But Grandpa Xiao is not allowed to say half more, let Yue'er guess, on the way to Jianglin, several times I have been thinking about Grandpa Xiao's questions all night, and I can't sleep all night."

"Haha, of course it wouldn't... With the divisive plan you mentioned against Duanmu Qiu, you are smart and can naturally think of the second layer, if there is a third layer of solution to this plan, you may be enlightened?" Xiao Xiang's eyes revealed that Shicai looked at Duanmu Qiu more lovingly, and asked.

Wang Yue'er thought that Grandpa Xiao praised herself, but she had already praised herself for seeing through his plan, until she heard that there was a third solution to this plan, and her eyes instantly widened as clear as a lake, revealing a desire for knowledge, waiting for Grandpa Xiao to speak.

"With your cleverness, you can see the meaning of my move to get close to Duanmu, and guess what, did he see it?" Xiao Xiang retracted the love in his eyes and turned to the bright yellow figure at the end of the imperial city.

The clever Wang Yue'er instantly heard something different from Grandpa Xiao's question, and immediately thought about it quietly, and after a moment, she suddenly became stunned, and then her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she muttered: "No... That's not right..."

Xiao Xiang on the side saw the cardamom girl's painstaking thoughts, and listened to her mouth "no" negative, but she had thought of the key, but did not say a word to remind her, but like a private school teacher who patiently taught, waiting for the students to understand the truth in the book on their own, waiting for the students to understand the truth in the book on their own, waiting for them to wait.

Just above the castle tower, a piece of snow petals slowly floated down, falling on the cardamom girl's slightly curved bangs, and then melted, turning into a drop of cold dew, dripping on the girl's forehead, which seemed to point through the girl's mind and made her suddenly realize.

"I see!" The girl was as hearty and comfortable as untying the knot of her heart for many days, and smiled.

"You understand?" Xiao Xiangfu had to laugh together.

"Yue'er understands everything, so to speak..." Wang Yue'er opened her mouth for a moment, and couldn't help but look back at the person who was standing behind her, wearing the armor of the Nine Gate Governors.

"It's good to understand, don't turn back, follow Grandpa Xiao to see him!" Xiao Xiang stopped Wang Yue'er from looking back for a moment, and she was already moving forward by herself...

At this time, Wang Yue'er, like a child who has untied a knot in her heart, smiled cheerfully, jumped up and down to keep up with the pace ahead, and chased away.

The Imperial City Yongdao, compared to the Jianglin City Gate, is not much more and more solid, the old man walked in it, only heard the sound of his own footsteps stepping on the ground, but it did not disturb the mood of this peerless national warrior at all, under the eyebrows of the hidden rivers and mountains, the eyes full of wisdom, at this moment, there is no way to enter the Yongdao again, teach the cardamom girl when she was loving and happy...

"Sir, I have been waiting for this day for eighteen years." Seeing that the old man had already walked out of the imperial city, the saint opened his mouth, and did not reproach him in the slightest for resisting the decree and not taking advantage of the sin of the jade chariot, but showed the posture of a victor and spoke softly.

"It is the fault of the courtiers to worry about the saints." Xiao Xiang rarely lowered his head a few points and slowly spoke.

The saint saw the slightly bowed head, and the posture of the victor was even greater, and he raised his voice a little and said, "I gave Mr. Jade to live up to the name of Mr. Guoshi, why did you refuse?"

Before the words fell, I saw that the slightly bowed head had been raised, and the eyes that saw through everything had reappeared: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty has misunderstood, and this salute is not to thank Your Majesty for your grace."

"Oh? Why did the gentleman enter the palace overnight?" The joy in the saint's eyes faded, turning to a chill, and he looked at the gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything.

"I think Your Majesty can already see the difference in the star position tonight, and the minister is here tonight!" At this time, the old man no longer straightened up as outside the imperial city, but tightened his body, as if disturbed by the cold wind.

"I have learned the art of stargazing from my husband, and tonight's star hexagram is like this, it seems that not only I have seen it, but also my husband has seen it." The saint instantly understood the meaning of this national soldier's words, and immediately spoke bluntly.

When Zhongqi heard the conversation between the master and apprentice, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and immediately took a few steps back, and looked sideways at the golden armor guards who were ten steps away, and with just one glance, all Qi Yunwei instantly understood the meaning of this great eunuch, and they all held their weapons and quickly retreated, until they stopped a hundred steps away.
